Scott Quigg will make the second defence of his WBA world super-bantamweight title against Venezuelan Nehomar Cermeno in Manchester on April 19.

Unbeaten Quigg retained his title in November with a routine second-round technical knockout victory over Diego Oscar Silva.

While there has been an increasing clamour for an all-British showdown with Northern Ireland’s unbeaten Carl Frampton, Bury-based Quigg must now focus on mandatory challenger Cermeno, who has some impressive scalps on his a 22-5-1 record - with two of those losses coming in world bantamweight title fights against two-weight champion Anselmo Moreno.

The show at the Phones4U Arena will also feature Quigg's stablemate Anthony Crolla, Olympic champions Anthony Joshua and Luke Campbell and former IBF bantamweight champion Jamie McDonnell.

Frampton, 26, meanwhile, faces Mexican Hugo Cazares in a final eliminator for the WBC title at Belfast's Odyssey Arena on April 4.

The Ulsterman relinquished his European and Commonwealth belts in November to pursue a world title bid, with the winner set for a world title showdown with current WBC champion Leo Santa Cruz.
